Our family has a YouTube channel AwakenWithMark which was blessed to be monetized (1k subscribers & 4k viewing hours) in about 4 months. The average time frame for a channel to monetize is 1-2 years. We had a video, 3 Reasons People Don’t Stay in Africa, go viral approaching 1Mil views. Not bad for two sixty-somethings. Our grown sons were amazed and the next journey began transforming the channel into a Family Channel.

We have purchased properties in Tanzania/Zanzibar and as an African American family are living our dream of building a family business that our sons lead, creating generational wealth. Our goal is to help you to do the same! Our experiences are shared in various platforms through this website, videos, ebooks, and online courses.
